Cherry red hair is known to be vibrant and full of character.

The reason is simple: because it has a high amount of pigments, cherry red hair also tends to fade easily.

We separate tips to teach you how to take care of cherry red hair in the right way, keeping the color vibrant for much longer. As a bonus, we also teach you how to retouch the root to cause as little damage as possible to the hair. Check out!

Cherry red hair: how to retouch the red hair root without damaging the strands?

Root retouching needs to be done very carefully, diva! In order for cherry red hair to have vibrant color and lots of shine, it is essential that the strands receive minimal damage during the coloring procedure. Therefore, the recommendation is that you retouch the root of cherry red hair while the strands are dirty, that is, one or two days after the last hair wash. In this way, natural oil protects the scalp against damage from the chemical procedure.

If the length of the red hair is faded, apply the color to the lengths and ends to add another layer of color, but with a shorter time delay than at the roots. In this situation, you can see the ideal range for the root and the length in the explanatory leaflet that comes in the coloring box. Another option is to apply a toner to the lengths and ends, but make sure the color manages to reach the cherry red shade.

Diva tip: choose a color that has a UV filter in the composition to protect red hair from the sun's rays! When hair is exposed to the sun without protection, the color is easily faded, causing the loss of the intense pigments of cherry red hair. Also, betting on a color that has a moisturizing formula and keratin is a great option to keep the strands healthy and shiny!

Cherry red hair: day-to-day care is as important as the moment of change

Even if touch-ups inevitably need to be part of your day-to-day life (this reality only changes if you opt for the color in hair with red streaks), these precautions are just as important so that your strands are always beautiful and with the right tone. vibrant. Take a look at these tips below:

1) Use shampoo and conditioner for colored hair

The first necessary care for cherry red hair owners is basic for everyone who colors their hair: the use of specific products for colored strands. They have components that clean more smoothly, protect the strands and are hydrating — something very important, especially for those who have had to bleach their hair to reach the desired cherry red tone.

2) Use products with a UV filter on cherry red hair

As with other red tones (including those who dye their hair dark red), the action of UV rays accelerates the color fading process. That is: it is essential to protect the wires with products that offer sun protection before leaving home. On vacation, whenever you go to the beach and go diving, you must reapply this leave-in. Remember that the more you can protect red hair from the sun, the better off it will be.

3) Avoid washing red hair in hot water

We know that, especially in winter, bathing in hot water is the option of many people, but those who dye their hair red should avoid the habit – and there is more than one reason for this. The first of them is high temperature: excessive heat can dry out the hair, making it fade even more easily. In addition, the cold water helps close the cuticles, preserving the nuance and adding shine to the hair.

4) Apply a combing cream with thermal protection before the flat iron and dryer

The logic of very hot water also applies to excessive heat tools, as the high temperatures of the flat iron, dryer and babyliss can also be harmful to colored strands. The ideal is to use each one of them between two and three times a week and always with a thermal protector applied to the wires. Our suggestion is that you apply a combing cream that has thermal protection in its composition, as the multifunctional product offers a range of benefits to the hair! It is worth opting for a combing cream that has a protective shield in its composition (anti-frizz, anti-pollution and thermal protection action) so that the hair is armored against damage.

5) Keep the capillary schedule up to date

Healthy hair is always shiny and has an incredible color, that is: the hair schedule can also be your best friend when it comes to keeping the cherry red alive and intense. The routine with hydration, nutrition and capillary reconstruction treatments will help you leave the strands very strong, aligned and without dryness or frizz.

How to get the right shade of cherry red on your hair?

One of the main advantages of cherry red is its versatility: even though it is very vibrant and striking, it goes with different skin tones and hair types. Achieving the desired tone is something that will depend on how your hair base is:

Virgin and light hair: this is the simplest scenario for anyone wishing to turn their hair cherry red, as the natural blonde hair color will not be an impediment to redhead pigmentation. The revealing cream in the box, in this case, is enough for the ideal result;
Virgin and dark hair: those with natural strands ranging from brown to black must need a bleach to get the right cherry tone. Each discoloration can lighten up to five shades of hair, so those with black hair may need to bleach twice. In that case, take a break of at least two weeks between one discoloration and another and bet on capillary reconstruction to strengthen the strands in the interval;
Hair already colored with dark pigments: in that case, you may need to strip the wires. This happens because discoloration is not enough to lighten the effect of other colorings. As this process is more aggressive, it's a good idea to enlist the help of a professional, so that your strands remain healthy in the process.
